You are just too easy to please. We will of course be popping to the tearoom around the corner to raid the cream cakes, I won't get a big one this time as I am really having to be more careful with my sugar and fat consumption. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

sue943 Administrator Registered: Sun Dec 19 1999 Posts: 38004 Loc: Jersey Channel Islands	This thread is supposed to be for planning her trip not spreading alarm nor rumours. So far we have... Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (zoo) The Marilyn Monroe exhibition - the largest collection of MM memorabilia in the world - also the Jersey Museum, same place Big Vern's - Sara's favourite eating place here St Malo in France Hector's Fish and chip shop Mont Orgueil Castle Elizabeth Castle A carnation nursery might be good as those are her favourite flowers, we can have something to eat there too. A couple of days we will be 'tin shaking' in town for Shopmobility. Since we will be just around the corner that means more fish and chips! Poplars Tearooms is a must for cream cakes.

Rowena8482 Prolific Registered: Mon Mar 12 2007 Posts: 1408 Loc: Hartlepool Durham England UK	Fish and chips from the chippy IS a delicacy! Especially with the fish as fresh as it will be where you are Sue. My "view" of the Channel Islands is formed only from books, so I have a "girls boarding school during the War" and a "major earthquake squishes Guernsey and splits Alderney in two" picture in my head. Can I pitch a small tent in your garden one day Sue please? and get a true pic? Oo there's a thought - would I need a passport to get from the mainland to the Islands? I know my friend had to have one if she wanted to fly to Belfast, because of the security issues rather than because of the actual "usual passport being needed" issues. She can take the ferry without one. _________________________ It is better to open your eyes and say you do not understand, than to close your eyes and say you do not believe.

sue943 Administrator Registered: Sun Dec 19 1999 Posts: 38004 Loc: Jersey Channel Islands	You need photographic ID virtually everywhere you fly these days, not always a passport but I tend to use mine. Ren has liked it enough to have been here to stay with me three times, or is it four? I think it is only three, I am totally confused now. Did you not see Bergerac? Actually John Nettle's daughter still lives here, she has a high powered job in the civil service here. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

denni19 Registered: Tue Sep 05 2006 Posts: 14562 Loc: Bucharest Romania	Quote: Oh I can't see you serving Mada ready meals from M&S Sue. I can! Honestly now, there's absolutely no need for her to fuss over feeding me and I am hoping she won't ask me to cook for her . Quote: I know something about Mada's trip and I am just bursting to tell!! Bursting! Oh, no! Now I will fret for an entire week what's all about. Hope it's not about a band playing at the airport or the mayor handing me the keys of the city . For something like that I will need a different costume than the one I planned on wearing. Quote: A carnation nursery might be good as those are her favourite flowers, we can have something to eat there too. Wow! A carnation nursery! Awesome! Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I love the activity list you put up. The only thing I'd add is Corbiere and the crafting supplies shop. _________________________ "The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn." - David Russell

Corbiere is a given as it is just a few minutes round the corner, there is normally an icecream van there so we kill two birds with one stone. As for crafting shops, that is a given, as is the pound shop and perhaps a boot sale. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

ren33 Moderator Registered: Thu Sep 30 1999 Posts: 12593 Loc: Kowloon Tong Hong Kong	Quote: "major earthquake squishes Guernsey and splits Alderney in two" Well the Guernsey one was probably caused by our Sue, she is always fiercely loyal to Jersey. Seriously, Mada you are going to have a ball, as I said, just keep an eye on her in the shopping centre, that poor old boy never knew what hit him.

Has anyone noticed that for every activity Sue has planned there is food involved. Now I know why she does not cook at home. _________________________ "If Life Were Easy Where Would All The Adventure Be?"

Lets see. Purplefan Joe(Sypher) twice TW and Mrs TW Copago Ozzz George Nannanut Exit and Sue (three times) OK then just a couple more _________________________ Wandering aimlessly through FT since 1999.

Waiting for the postman will be fun this coming week - will I be able to stop Mada getting to my new goodies before me?
